  INSIGHT MEDITATION
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  Insight Meditation -- known as Vipassana in the Buddhist tradition -- 
  aims to free the mind from the distortions of self-centeredness, 
  negativity, and confusion. Seeing life as a constantly changing 
  process, one begins to accept pleasure and pain, fear and joy, and all 
  aspects of life with increasing balance and equanimity. This balanced 
  awareness, grounded in the present moment, leads to stillness and a 
  growing understanding of the nature of life. Out of this seeing 
  emerges wisdom and compassion.
